Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful Chapter 226
Advertisement
Being a woman herself, Zhao Youlin had to admit that the woman's eyes were truly attractive. In fact, she looked gorgeous. To be more specific, she had an… exquisite face.
A look that she could not possibly forget after just a single glance. Zhao Youlin quickly went through her memories, yet, she could not recall who the woman was. She wondered if she had seen this woman before, or if she had known her before.
"You…" Zhao Youlin gave up after racking her brain for some time. She looked up and asked, "Do I know you?"
The woman was Su Ruixin. She was coincidentally shopping nearby. When she heard Zhao Youlin's reply, she froze. The next moment, she seemed to have thought of something. She heaved a sigh, pretending to look sad and said, "Youlin, have you forgotten about me so soon? You're right. After all, we've just met each other hastily during your wedding. After that, I went overseas and since then, we've never seen each other. So, it's only natural that you won't remember me."
'My wedding? So, could she be one of the guests during the banquet, or is she one of Mu Tingfeng's relatives?'
Zhao Youlin's mind raced. However, she showed an apologetic look on the surface, "So, that's how it is. I was in a hurry during the wedding. Moreover, it's been a long while and throughout these years, I've experienced many upsetting events. So, my memory failed me. May I know are you…"
Zhao Youlin's words were a bit far-reaching. Yet, it was a fact. As far as she could recall from the original owner's memory, the so-called wedding was nothing but chaotic as well as pathetic.
On the surface, the wedding looked lively. In truth, not many people congratulated them sincerely. Above all, the original owner had her eyes glued to Mu Tingfeng throughout the entire night. It was certainly a rare phenomenon if she paid attention to others even once at that time.

Unfortunately, no matter how long she stared at him, Mu Tingfeng did not enter her room that night. She waited all alone in the empty boudoir throughout the night.
Meanwhile, Zhao Youlin's words instantly alerted Su Ruixin, 'Experienced a lot of upsetting events throughout the years?' Did her daughter-in-law just refer to her days in the Mu family as a hardship?
It was over. She had found her life staying with Mu Tingfeng to be miserable. She must have had a very poor impression of him now, much less court her!
Su Ruixin had never expected to bump into Zhao Youlin today.
She initially thought about coming to this area to collect her stuff. However, when she got out of the car, she coincidentally saw Zhao Youlin carrying Joy out of her car.
Su Ruixin had basically gone through Zhao Youlin's various reports lately. So, she instinctively identified the lady opposite her as her daughter-in-law, er… ex-daughter-in-law, at a single glance.
So, was the child in her daughter-in-law's arms her own grandchild?!
After Su Ruixin identified them, she instinctively tailed them. She saw with her own eyes from afar that Zhao Youlin had handed over the child to the kindergarten teacher. Then, she saw Zhao Youlin quietly hide to the side and watch the child mingled with others in the kindergarten. The child did not show the slightest bit of discomfort, nor cry for his mother. Only then did Zhao Youlin turn back and leave.
The child's cuteness was beyond Su Ruixin's expectations. Likewise, Zhao Youlin's interaction with her child had also greatly surpassed her expectations.
She had received the information from the old butler that over the past, Zhao Youlin was not close with her son. Not only was she not close with him, but the woman had also treated her son as a bargaining chip in order to keep hold of her son. However, once the woman realized her son no longer served his purpose, she tossed him aside without hesitation.

Today, what she saw with her own eyes totally contradicted what she had heard.
Zhao Youlin was watching Joy playing happily in the kindergarten while Su Ruixin was watching Zhao Youlin and the child in the kindergarten from afar. Su Ruixin unwittingly got lost in her thoughts.
By the time she returned to her senses, she saw Zhao Youlin about to get into her car and leave the place. Without giving a second thought, Su Ruixin immediately called Zhao Youlin.
Su Ruixin looked embarrassed after hearing Zhao Youlin's words. She faked a cough and said, "I'm Tingfeng's mother. In other words, I'm also your… former mother-in-law."
'What?!' Zhao Youlin was completely shocked by Su Ruixin's words. So, this woman was that guy's mother as well as her former mother-in-law?! But, she had just replied to her that she did not know her!
Fine, Su Ruixin could not blame her, after all. Over the past four years since the previous Zhao Youlin was married, she had only seen her "mother-in-law" once. Moreover, their meetup was nothing short of awkwardness and resentment, much less through her current self.
Ever since she openly fought with Zhao Shuncheng, Zhao Youlin found that the memories originally belonging to this body were fading slowly while those belonging to her own past were becoming clear.
Zhao Youlin did not know if the changes were good or bad. However, she undeniably felt more relaxed. Ever since that day, she did not know if it was her own illusion, but she always felt the invisible chains imprisoning her slowly disappearing.
Zhao Youlin froze for some time before she recovered her senses. Looking at Su Ruixin's youthful and beautiful face, it was hard to believe that this woman had a son in his twenties. More so, her son was the ever stoic Mu Tingfeng!
"Er… So, it's you. I'm sorry. I had an excessive blood loss at home once, resulting in a period of oxygen deprivation in the brain. Therefore, I couldn't remember clearly some of the things in the past. I didn't wipe you out of my memory on purpose."
Zhao Youlin was not an unreasonable woman. Although she disliked Mu Tingfeng, she would not vent out her discontentment to an elderly whom she had only met once.
Su Ruixin knew that she could not blame this on Zhao Youlin either. After all, she had also treated her daughter-in-law as a nobody which resulted in today's state. One, it was because of Mu Tingfeng's attitude toward her. Two, it was also because of the incident that happened four years ago.
Mu Tingfeng was Su Ruixin's only child. She had been doting on him ever since young. She had never thought of using his son's marriage to maintain or improve the family's strength. With their identities and background, they simply did not have the need to do so.
Therefore, she had hoped that her son would marry a girl whom he was in love with. Then, the two could give birth to a child and live happily ever after.
However, this woman had drugged her son in the name of love and even set her son up to conceive a child unexpectedly. Her son had even suffered from a certain unspeakable… hidden disease ever since then. As such, this had triggered her taboo.
Most importantly, the former master had insisted on her son to marry the woman under circumstances wheren everyone clearly knew that she was not suitable for her son. Therefore, she became even more frustrated. After attending their wedding, she was so angry that she flew overseas and never returned even after her grandson was born.

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
